Most industries are awash with Lean, Lean Sigma, Six Sigma and similar programmes. If you need to reduce lead times and cost whilst developing customer service then these programmes will seem quite tempting as a one stop shop and, to be fair, in some case they work very well.

Unfortunately this success does not come to everyone who follow these programmes, in fact many fail to benefit. Some issues include:

• Staff attrition due to marketability of “Six Sigma” and “Lean” on the CV.
• Jargon that excites the few but will alienate the majority.
• A tool set born in manufacturing not fitting the need of the sector and culture.
• Lack of commitment by the organisation.

There is nothing wrong with Lean and Six Sigma, sometimes it is just wrong for what you need. What's the alternative? We operate differently. We get the results of Lean and Six Sigma without the jargon. We aim to engage the majority not just the enthusiastic few and use language and tools that are appropriate to your business, your sector and your culture.

One thing you cannot get away from is “commitment”. That is something we insist upon from all of our clients.

If you are committed and want to improve, get in touch now. We are happy to talk about your needs either on the phone or face to face over a coffee.
